Nok Air U-turn

Only 6 days after announcing it was ceasing flights from Bangkok to Phuket, Nok Air has announced it will be re-instating them, in a limited capacity, from August 9th. The decision seems to stem from media reports here in Thailand that people are stranded in Bangkok when they desperately want to get to Phuket.

For now the announcement only states that flights will be run throughout August, and only on Saturdays and Sundays, though it can be expected that they will continue beyond that. Watch this space for more news.

For now however, our previous advice still stands. Book your Bangkok-Phuket flights as early as possible to avoid disappointment!
